Sandwich - a match with exactly one card between them.
In Sevens, you hold the 4, 5, and 6 of clubs, and only the 7 of clubs is on the table for that suit. Assuming no one else changes the club sequence, this is the order in which you must play those three cards on your turns.
6 then 5, then 4.

Nertz and 15 points
In B.S., using one standard deck without jokers, you hold two kings. Another player places three cards face down and announces, “Three kings.” State the minimum number of false cards in that play and explain your reasoning.
At least one false card because only 2 kings are left outside my hand.
n Klondike, one column contains only a face-down ace of clubs, covered by a face-up black 9–red 8 sequence. Another column ends with a red 10. The waste shows the 2 of clubs, with a king immediately beneath it. The club foundation is empty. Give the four moves that get that king into the first column.
move the 9–8 sequence onto the red 10; turn over and move the ace to its foundation; move the waste’s 2 onto that ace; move the newly exposed king into the empty column?
n Ticket to Ride USA, you finish with 38 route points, completed tickets worth 17 and 9, an incomplete ticket worth 12, and the 10-point longest-route bonus. This is your final score.
What is 62 points?
38 + 17 + 9 − 12 + 10 = 62.
In standard Flip 7, exactly one 12 and one 2 have been revealed, and both are in your line. Which number is more likely to make you bust on your next draw, and why?
12, because there are twelve 12s and only two 2s in the deck.
